This note was saved as a draft in OutPost. Then I came back and published it after quitting and relaunching the app.

Let's try that again... My work on OutPost is coming along really well, but just when I think I'm about ready to turn it loose for others to try, I'll get another idea for something I think the app should do. Nonetheless, here's a tease of some iOS screenshots.

I changed up the layout of OutPost for Mac this morning. I feel the dual sidebar layout works far better on larger screens and is more “Mac-like” in its look and feel. I might be close to having other people test it for real.

We’ve worn Moo Chi and Dice out before they wore us out, but it was close.

Because I couldn’t wait to share them… Dice (left) and Moo Chi (right) from their Mutts in Need profile picture. They’ll be coming to their forever home today. Warning, this is going to be the first of many dog pics in my feed for a while.

Tab Beniot was a great show at the Coach House last night, and is as good live as his recordings. I’m so glad we finally saw him. The last time we had tickets, we were both under the weather and decided to skip the show. Bucket list artist achieved. The opening act was The Zac Schulze Gang, a high…

This is one of the earliest photos in my Apple Photos collection. More as a test of my Pixelfed work than anything else.

Finished reading: The Black Echo by Michael Connelly 📚 A gripping read, but I did figure out the plot before the end of the book… On to the third installment in the series.

The beach was not as busy as we thought it would be today…

Some mnml Updates: jimmitchell.org/2025/08/31/some-mnm… I was a little bored today, so I made some mnml updates…

Jim Mitchell @jimmitchell.org · 26/08/2025

I made some mnml related updates to both the theme and archive by year plugin that alphabetizes archive page categories and adds better styling for the archive year select menu.

A mnml teaser… How about a feature to display related posts based on category? Yeah? I thought so. Coming soon…

An example screenshot of what related posts for the Micro.blog mnml theme might look like.

⌚️ Today’s wrist check and new daily driver, picked up over the weekend. The Seiko 5 SRPG39. A touch smaller than what I’m used to, but it’s growing on me. I think I need a better NATO band though. This one’s kind of wimpy.

I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of dumb watches lately. Today’s wrist check from my very small collection is the Bulova New American Clipper style automatic 96C130. Classic and simple for my minimalist tastes.

I had an English Literature teacher my senior year of high school named King Wisdom (no joke!) who’s class you could pass by bringing him Rolos. Also, not a lie. I did not bring him Rolos, but think of him every time I have them myself.

Two individually wrapped Rolo candies are placed on a light surface.

WTAF, Apple??? If I delete a stupid app like Playgrounds from my phone, don’t reinstall it… Jeez.
